Remember Airwolf, the high-tech, crime-busting TV chopper of every school kid’s dreams? Well anyway, take our word for it, it was very, very cool, especially for the decade that brought us day-glow towelling socks and Kajagoogoo. Picoo Z brings the magic of Airwolf right to your living room, but this time it’s not the dubiously named Stringfellow Hawke at the controls, it’s you!

This fully operational, crash-resistant helicopter is perfect for indoor aerial action and comes ready to fly, with take-off, hover and left/right functions providing enough manoeuvres to make Torvil & Dean dizzy.

Charge her up using the handset provided and Picoo Z is ready for an impressive array of 10-minute medium-range flight missions, from harassing your mates and buzzing your gran, to freaking out nearby Vietnam vets.

You could wait until nightfall and use the helicopter’s sinister blue strobe to spook an unsuspecting houseguest, or astonish onlookers by landing the super-light chopper on the head of an innocent bystander!

Frequently Asked Questions


How much room does the Picoo Z need?
The tiny Picoo Z Micro Helicopter is the smallest and lightest miniature Infra Red controlled Helicopter in the World, and will reward you with many exhilarating flights with careful operation. Be sure to allow enough space around you whilst learning, even though this may be operated in the smallest of spaces with practice.

Can more than one Picoo Z be flown at the same time?
Yes! Flying one heli is fun but flying more is even better. Each colour Picoo Z has it's own band (frequency), A, B or C. Three Picoo Z's can fly at the same time, just make sure they are different colours. When buying our special offer set of 3 Picoo Z's you automatically get one of each colour.

Are these the real thing, as I've seen similar models available?
Here at Crazyfruitbat.com we only stock the original Silverlit patented Picoo Z. Due to the huge success of the Picoo Z there have been a lot of inferior quality clones appearing in the market place and on auction websites, often using nearly identical packaging and claiming to be the original version. Please be aware that the best performing, safety tested Silverlit Picoo Z mini helicopter is only available through a limited number of authorised dealers such as ourselves.

Can the Picoo Z Fly Outdoors?
The inexpensive Picoo Z Micro Helicopter is remarkably robust, made of tough expanded Polypropylene foam, features a brilliant blue LED strobe light allowing fantastic flights in the dark, and incorporates an auto stability system to make this easy to operate both indoors and outside in dead calm conditions. Treat it with respect, and do not attempt to fly it outside in windy conditions.


Picoo Z improving stability - by Alexander


For a perfect PiccoZ mini helicopter, play around the hinge axis on the main rotor should be zero, while being absolutely free to move around that same hinge. Easy to understand that this is nearly impossible to accomplish in mass production. So most PiccoZ come with somewhat too much play to avoid that there is the slightest friction given variances in plastic shrinkage and assembly tolerances. For those who want to get the best results, there is a simple way of reducing the hinge play, although if done the wrong way, it will make it fly worse.

So, on your own risk (no warranty), you could try the following.

First measure play by moving one blad tip up and down without bending.
Take a metal rod of about 2mm diameter (not critical) and sharpen it to a tip like a pencil. Avoid to make it needle sharp or it will make holes in the plastic (that is not the purpose, see further) . You can use the tip of a small phillips screwdriver too. Locate on top side of the rotor, about 3-4 mm each side of the central hole along the hinge axis. Beneath that are hidden the moulded plastic hinge pins. Put one finger on the underside of the rotor for support, and CAREFULLY but FIRMLY press with the pin on the top side (right above the hinge pin) to make a small dent in the plastic. Do the same the other side. These dents actually reduce the gap between the plastic of the rotor and the hinge pin, reducing play. Do this in small steps, and check each time if play has been reduced, and if more could be done. It's better to stop too early rather than too late. In the latter case, there will be friction and that is really not what we want. There may be a way back, but I never had to try I have done it a couple of times and it's actually not too difficult for a careful and delicate modeller's hand. It's best when play is 'just a little bit'.

Try it in case your PiccoZ mini helicopter does not have this 'solid' feel and you will be amazed.

Once that done, you can check if blade tips (with stabilizer rotor at 90degrees to the vertical rotor axis) are at 90 degrees to that axis too. If not bent one end till it does.

Last, check if incidence of one blade side equals that of the other side. If not, adjust one side at the root end by pressure (NOT at the tip)

Some small strips of tape on one end or the other can further help to smoothen out things.

I emphasise that this is at your own risk (if you screw it up), or satisfaction (if you succeed).
